Kurobuta, or “black hog,” is the Japanese term for the Berkshire breed, the source of the famous Japanese kurobuta pork from the Kagoshima Prefecture. Like its Japanese counterpart, Snake River American kurobuta is deep in color and streaked with fine marbling that makes these chops exceptionally sweet, juicy and tender.

4 chops, approx. 7 oz. each (serves 4).

Shipped frozen.

Made in the USA.

Delicious!This is some seriously high grade, fancy restaurant quality pork (in fact, I just Googled it - it is indeed served at a couple very nice restaurants here in LA!). These pretty chops were generous in size and nicely presented. But the flavor: awesome. Porcine but mild, a good balance of fat and lean. I prepared ours with a simple browned butter and sage sauce so the meat could shine, and I was not disappointed.
